| <h1> <img src="images/toc_parallel_perspective_lg.png"> Parallel Tools Platform</h1> |
| <p>Release 2.1 |
| <p> |
| The Parallel Tools Platform is designed to allow the Eclipse |
| framework to be used for developing applications for parallel |
| computer systems. PTP provides the following functionality: |
| <ul><li> |
| tools for developing applications based on the Message Passing |
| Interface (MPI) standard (other environments and APIs will follow.) |
| <li> the ability to launch, control and monitor the execution of |
| parallel programs |
| <li> the ability to monitor parallel system status information |
| <li> an integrated parallel debugger |
| <li> a framework for integrating exernal dynamic tools |
| </ul> |
| In addition, PTP provides a platform for parallel tool developers to |
| integrate their tools within the Eclipse framework. New tools can |
| take advantage of the user interface components and parallel |
| services that are provided by PTP, without the need to develop and |
| support this infrastructure across multiple platforms. |
